These podcasts are great, I have moved up with my youngest son after being the CM of a Cub Pack for 4 years. I am looking forward to being back to the Scout Troop.
Your podcasts make my 45 minute commute more enjoyable. I am working my way through the archive.
It was a tremendous help when I lead our first meeting with new scouts, the SM was away on vacation and the SPL was not used to leading younger scouts. Of course only half of the new scouts showed up due to sports conflicts. Instead of forming 2 patrols we started with one and we will form the second at the next meeting. We let the scouts form the patrol and elect the PL as they wanted, we are on our way to Boy Lead.
